It honestly shouldn't matter? Post count really doesn't have any major relevance.

Anyway. Some threads you posted in could have been deleted, and that would lower your count. At least it does on some forum providers.

This is true, post count would go down. Or if threads got moved to Fun Stuff. But if you count up their posts in the "post areas" tab in their profile, it doesn't add up. But it's happened to other people before. I lost about a hundred on my post count a few days ago as well, and I know others who have had the problem.

Yes. There are some who think their credibility also gets better but thankfully such a belief resides in the realms of myth. I've about 4k-5k posts when I consider this current MMO-Champion account and an older one, but it's no big deal at the end of the day.

"It hath been found by experience that no matter how decent, intelligent or thoughtful the reasoning of a conservative may be, as an argument with a liberal is advanced, the probability of being accused of ‘bigotry’, ‘hatred’ or ‘intolerance’ approaches 1." - Cranmer's Law

Do you ever wonder how some of the people have so high post counts around here, Dontrike?

You might think, "Well, they simply post a lot, don't they?". Well, no. No they do not. They hunt down the less prominent posters and steal their posts in the night, adding it to their own for everyone to see. There are two kinds of people in this world, Dontrike. There are those who post to earn their numbers, and there are those who take it from those too weak to hold it. You've simply fallen prey to Darsithis insatiable lust for posts. It is as it has always been.

The weak are meat, and the strong do eat.

That bastard! I was wondering why I skipped back and forth between Scarab Lord and Lightbringer twice last month.

Dontrike: I didn't look at your post history, but sometimes what happens is a thread from WoW Gen or OT Gen or whatever gets moved to Fun Stuff, and all the posts in that thread for each poster no longer get counted and you can lose a lot of post count with that.

But that thread was originally in Fun Stuff. I merged it and it moved to GenOT because I wasn't paying attention, so I moved it back. Don's post area shows only 9 posts in General Off-topic, where the thread was temporarily, while he has 81 posts in that thread. I don't think it's being caused by that.
